 Good morning, everyone. Good morning. We are finally home from everywhere. Everybody traveled, except for this person, if you don't know who this is, it's Jelaine Smith. But we traveled. We were in Salt Lake City and Betsy was in New York and we're tired, our hands are, our wings are tired. Yeah, that's a lot of flying. Some of us flew home easily. Some of us did not. Some of us slept like forever once we get home. I find Rootsack very, very tiring. Were you tired, Greg? I was tired. Yeah, I was very tired. You'd have to be on, right? You're not just present. You'd have to be on. Yeah, now for me. Six in the morning. That hurts me up, but still. Yeah, I've got a statement to make about my good friend, Greg, when we get to things. Hey, everybody, we're so glad you're here and Greg is wearing a tie. Yes, he is. Greg is a little overdressed. No, he's not because Greg has to go and play for a funeral. So he's not overdressed at all. I question the red tie. A, to be a black tie for a funeral and B, orange for a wiki tree. Well, to me, it looks orange. Julie, Julie, get him an orange tie. I had one orange tie, but it's full of pumpkins and I didn't think that was appropriate for a funeral. No, no, no. OK, so good morning. We're going to start off this morning not doing the question, but we're going to go first off to Jelaine. Now, I don't know if you guys remember that six months or so ago she was on the live cast because she had discovered this incredible, she made this connection. OK, so I'm going to pull up the information and I'm going to let her tell us, recap what the information is that we are going to talk about. Sure. OK, there we go. Recap it and I'll keep up with you with the screen. So Mags is sharing a free space page that I created last August after I'd been contacted by a woman in North Carolina who had discovered a box of photographs in a roadside ditch. The woman who found them turned out to be a genealogist and she was horrified at the loss of the potential loss of these photographs. She rescued them, took them home, cleaned them up, dried them out in her oven. And then she noticed, wow, there's actually notations on the back. And to help to start to identify people, she started researching and googling those names. And she found me on WikiTree because I have had this longstanding research project to document the descendants of Schwenningen, Germany, families who emigrated to the United States in the mid 1800s, including my own ancestor. And one of those branches was Thomas Yauke and his wife, Katarina Schlenker. And they ended up in Stanton, Virginia. And it turns out that these photographs were from that family, including if you scroll down a little bit more, Max, the first one there, those two. That is the emigrating couple. And it's very exciting. The woman died in 1875, so that photograph had to been taken before then. This is the uncle of my ancestor, Ludwig Yauke. So this is Thomas Yauke. Anyway, so I got, this woman sent me the box of photographs. I then started creating profiles for each of these family. If I didn't have them already, and adding the photographs, digitizing that, scanning the photographs, and putting labels on them as you're seeing here, that's their daughter. She was actually born in Germany. But she married a pifferling who then married a Labonte. And anyway, one of the descendants had these photographs. And so I created this page. And if Max scrolls down closer to the bottom, it says that I am looking for living descendants. So yeah, I organized it by generation. There you go, finding current family. I was hoping that I could find the living descendants. I did enough research to identify three people that I thought were living, one of whom I subsequently learned died and I think was the owner of the photographs because she died in North Carolina near where the photographs were found. And I said, I'm looking for the granddaughters. Six months later, one of the granddaughters found me. She found this. She was googling. She was googling her family, Labonte and pifferling. And I don't think I don't know how much she knew about the yawks. And she found this page. And she reached out to me. And I got to get moved even talking about it. It's been a couple months now. She reached me through private message. And she said, I'm the granddaughter. And there she is. She gave us permission to share this photograph. That is her in the blue dress with white hair, her husband and their two daughters. And she gave me permission to share the photograph. And so she reached out to me and said, I'd love to have the photos. So I finally put them all back together in a box. And I added some additional information. I added a printout of this to go with the photographs, the printout of this page. I also, this is the nice postscript part. So six months ago, when I was on YouTube here with you all, Greg recognized the Labonte side. And he's got Labonte's in his family. And I know nothing about the Labonte's. They married into my line, the line I'm related to. No, yours line married in mine. Oh, Labonte's married in yours. OK, good thing. Got it, got it. Sorry, I got it wrong. But you started working on it. And as a result, you got the line back several generations. And then even later, you did connect them with Labonte's, you noticed. And including the emigrating ancestor and the Labonte family, the woman who reached out to me, they didn't have that information before. So I also printed out the pedigree for the Labonte's and included that. And shipped it off to her. She got it about a week later. I invited her to join us, but she's, for other reasons, not able to join us today. But I just think this is such a great example of collaboration, of the value of putting this kind of page up on Wikitree, even if your research is in progress, even if you don't have all the answers yet, to put something like this up there, and someone who was googling their family and found me. And as a result, I returned these precious photographs to the family. And I like that the pifferling looks like pifferling. They pronounce it pifferling. I thought it was pifferling as well, but it's actually pronounced pifferling, even though it's got that F. Which sounds like pilfering. Pilfering. You know, you're pilfering there. And that just goes to show, A, that Wikitree is incredibly collaborative, because you got here. You got on. We talked about it. You got the free space up. Greg got involved. He collaborated. But another really important part about Wikitree that people often don't realize until they're on Wikitree. And I say this all the time. I could name the number of people that I met as cousins before I started Wikitree on one hand. And since then, it's exploded. Because Wikitree has such good search engine optimization that somebody who types in piffering and LeBont, they're going to pop up. Wikitree is going to be the first answer in that information. So that's great. I was trying to stalk one of the posters in G2G today to try and figure out what somebody's first name was. And I couldn't get far, because I kept putting in the information for his grandfather. And it kept popping up. Wikitree was the first one. And I couldn't find any more information. So I stopped stalking. That is such a great story, Jillian. Isn't it so? You haven't put up a free space page about something you're working on, or you're trying to reach family members, distant family members or close ones. A free space page could be the way to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the free space page that comes up, that pops up because of that search engine optimization. Thank you so much for coming on. You can hang out and you can have some M&M's in this. And hang out with us while we continue our morning. You can drop off or do whatever you'd like. I will hang out, but off video. So I don't know how you kicked the video part up. I will hang out. No, no, if you're staying on, you got to stay on video, too. No, we can take you off. There you go. All right, so good morning, everybody. Morning, man. Everybody is here. Susie Carter, Mary Sleppy, Chris Ferriello, Dee, somebody. Who is it? Dee, are you from James Brown's area of the world down in Augusta? I feel good, dude. Let's see, Jim Butka, Janine. All you wonderful people. Hey, Appalachian, Roots people, love you. No, not white chocolate. They have white chocolate M&M's now. I haven't seen those. Hey, JRE from Northern Alberta. I have a family in Fort McMurray. All right, cool. On the goog-foot, Dee, goog, you're going to take over my typist queen of typos, if you're not careful. She's yelling good at me. She ain't good. Yeah, so the question of the week. Let me share my screen again. Let me remove that one and reshare, present. They've changed the way we do things a bit on, wait. That didn't work. Share screen, there we go. I don't want to go to question of the week, except I don't want to be on that page. I want to be on this page. Got the right page up. Yep. Nope. You have to hit, do you want me to add it? Nope. No, they just deleted it again. Got it. I hope this is the right one. Yeah, there we go. Oh. Oh, you just, that's it. What'd you do? What did I? I don't know what I did. That's it. I don't know what you did or didn't say. Question of the week. Now, I'm going to run through this pretty quickly. Question of the week is, what's your most embarrassing genealogical mistake? And I want to do what I normally do, which is skip between pages. Can I still do that? No. See, I don't like the new thing that they've done. All right. Because, all right, I had things set up. Why can't I do that anymore? Did you not share your entire screen? No, it won't let me. It only gave me. Oh, there we go. It's exciting when you discover something. It is. All right, so, Kay Smith. I like this as the first. It was the first answer, well, the second answer. But he tells a story about how, instead of reading directions, he's a man, of course. He went skiing once, and he just took off. And he just took off down slopes. He should have been going down. And of course, he learned his lesson. So don't assume you know how to wiki tree, because you already know who your grandparents were. Add some profiles and look around. Ask questions. Ask for help. Look at questions that have already been asked. Get familiar with your surroundings. Your hobby will be much more enjoyable. He didn't break his leg, but he could have on the ski slope because he just dove in. So that's a good one. I'm going to jump over to the next screen. Here we go. That works. One time, I proposed a merge of two children and one family. The PM rejected it because they worked for wins. So I respected a Cady and researcher. And so Cindy Cooper was incredibly embarrassed. And then Leif gets in here and says, hey, you can add the multiple births template. And that's how you format it right here. If you've got twins in a family, you can absolutely identify them with this information. So a good learning experience there. I'm going to jump on over to the next tab. Can I ask a question, Mates? Sure. There's a multiple birth template, but not a sticker. Because I was doing a profile where there were twins in the family. And I was looking and looking for a sticker because it seemed like there should be one. And I guess the stickers and the templates are different type things. So it's not like a project box template. So there's templates that you can use for estimated date. And it goes across the very top of the profile. So it's obvious instead of a sticker, which belongs down in the bio section. So there are templates that you can use. And if you go to the templates, you can see the ones that are approved for use. Can I answer your question? Yes. Let's see. I merged. This is for Mary and Saruti. I merged two profiles for individuals who were not the same person. Benjamin Cleveland Higgs and Cleveland Benjamin Higgs. Their names were similar, but not the same. Do you remember the Sesame Street? These things are similar, but they're not the same. So much of the data were not the same. But I wanted them to be the same, even though they weren't. So OK. She got rescued. And now on retrospect, this seems to have been more of an educational experience. Yeah. If you never make a mistake, you never learn. OK. There you go. I'm going to jump on to the last one here, which is cool. Brian Nash, if you haven't had an opportunity to check it out. Brian is also our member of the week. So this is a really cool story. I love Brian's stories. No mistakes should be embarrassing. We all make them. They should just be a learning experience, just like what we said. That being said, I've been known to make them. I think I recounted last year when this question was asked. I explained how in reading the Halifax Macalpen directory I saw that my second great-grandfather was listed as a cordial manufacturer. And for about a year, I was not cluing in and just found it interesting that they recognized his politeness. Now, if you know Brian and you know that he's fairly polite, it must be in his jeans. I thought this for maybe a year, maybe a little more. Despite the fact that I saw an ad for my uncle's ginger ale in the same directory, Thomas Nash, manufacturer of Belfast Ginger Ale. That's interesting. Ginger ale and soda water factory. I knew my third great-grandfather owned one of the first soda manufacturers in Nova Scotia. There you go. One of those buildings is John Nash and Company, written across the front. That reminds me of the Guinness Company. They're on the river in Dublin. You can see the building like that. So really, it wasn't much of a genealogical mistake, just my stupidity. And forgetting that in English language, one word can have two meanings. We're going to discuss that a bit more in a second. He also got contacted by a diver who recovered one of the bottles from the John Nash Company while diving in Atlantic. Saw in my YouTube video and showed him the bottle. So there's the bottle. How cool is that? It's a pretty cool story. Yeah, I got onto him because he didn't put the video up. So here's a link to the video in the questions if you want to go check that out. Now, Chris Ferrielo. Let me see if I can pull this up. Did he link me right to the right one? Yes. OK, so Chris's will upvote Chris, even though you really don't want to upvote Chris, but we'll upvote him anywhere. Anyway, my most embarrassing thing was not just marking myself as deceased on this site in 2017. That's pretty embarrassing. Yeah, it happened in 2006 when I registered on Ancestry and when I built the tree up, it went all the way back to this Grimbaldes Dubacon profile. I see Mags Manages. It auto-added the branch all the way back there, and then I found the truth. I deleted that mess so fast. Woo, Chris Ferrielo. You know what? I don't connect all the way back to them either. You know why? Why is that? Because there's a guy named Gustave Anjou who did my bacon family. But somebody trying to remember who it was here on WikiTree, they were going through the leaders' links to make sure the leaders' stuff was good. And he said, you have a big mistake in your family tree. And I'm like, oh, no, which one? He said the bacon line. I'm like, the bacon's, oh, no. And he got the proof that the guy that I thought was my earliest known ancestor here in the US, the guy that Gustave Anjou had connected him as father, actually says in his will, I did not have any children. Oh, well, that's clear. You can't get any more black and whiner than that. So my bacon's are dangly. I have dangly bacon. You hear dangly bacon. So they're bacon bits? Yeah, no bacon bits. So people were talking about making mistakes in spelling, following the completely wrong line, just because all the names line up, and this was a Thomas line, accepting other online trees was a huge mistake other people did. And I'm not saying that WikiTree is perfect, but we do work on accuracy. So I mean, even if you're on WikiTree and you're connecting to a line, I always go through and vet the sources that I find on WikiTree because that's what a good genealogist does. I'm not saying I'm a good genealogist. I'm just saying that's what you should do if you want to be a good genealogist. Another big mistake that people, and this should be a what is your biggest regret question? Not talking to the older generation and finding out the information that they have. Let me just run through here. Let's see. Oh, Thomas Jefferson Hester was a good quit thing. The whole family believed they were related to Thomas Jefferson. Well, they were, but it was Thomas Jefferson Hester, not the Thomas Jefferson. Not following directions, don't make assumptions. One person even published a family history and then found out she had misspelled the name from trying to translate it from a text. And it was actually a J instead of an S or something. And WikiTree duplicates, that's it. That's the question of the week, but I'm pumped. Good stuff. Excellent, hey. Excellent, way to go. That's it. Did you have something you wanted to say to us? Yes. So as we segue into Greg's segment, of Profiles of the Week, which are all related to the theme of rabbits. And this is to do with the, it is the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. I wanted to ask, just curious, I'm putting in the chat right now, the years when rabbits were born. And so if someone in the chat is a rabbit, let us know if you're watching the video later, put a comment in- Okay, not only, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Greg, can I tell them? Not only does Greg a rabbit because he was born in one of the years, I discovered on our travels to Roots Tech, that he is also the energizer rabbit. Oh my God, this guy goes and goes and goes and goes. I had to sleep for three days when I got home for having traveled with the man. And that's what I got. I just covered this one, I just covered this up. And then I've got a really cool mags, wiki tree mug. Yeah, that's a really cool mag. And if I uncover it, I have an older version of the live cast crew. Nice. Very good. Yeah. Open season on a rabbit and a rabbit hole. That's right, yeah. There we go. It's really time. Now they're really going nuts. So before I start this, so there was a question in the chat though, what happened to the last live cast on Roots Tech? Because there was a Roots Tech live cast schedule for 230 every single day, but we did a full live cast from the Roots Tech booth at 10 o'clock, Roots Tech time, mountain time. And so we basically had said everything we had to say and when it was 230, the expo hall was closing at three. Some people were already starting to take things down and it was kind of sad. And we had nothing left, we had nothing left to give. Now in retrospect, I should have gone online on my laptop and just said, hi, we're here, we're leaving. It was great. But it was packed. What's that? But it was packed up. Exactly, someone had already packed it up. And they said, here's your knapsack. Get it out of the way so we can get ready to take things down. But, I mean, we should have done that. At least it would have brought some closure to all those people who looked at the schedule that was there. And so we apologize for not showing up. And we said we would. Judy Stutz said, but we waited. I know you did. And I feel bad. And the expo hall ended theoretically at three. I think it was around four by the time we had everything packed up and we're back at the hotel. And I don't know why it opened up and there's the mail. And there was messes from Discord. Here's the long and the short of it, Greg. They had fun without us. They don't need us. I know, they must have. That's good. I'm glad. There we go. So maybe you don't need us. You don't need us. But it is the year of the rabbit. And I do have a funeral that I have to take off and play the organ for. So let us get through. Let us get to this. Let me make this a little bit bigger. But my cursor on the right screen. Oh, wait a second. What did you do? Connected me. Or did I disconnect me? There we go. I could have done that. Okay. Which rabbit are you most closely connected to? So. And I want to know if you want to do it just as fast as Melbourne. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'll try. No, I probably can't. Blah, blah, blah, blah, that's all folks. The first one, the profile of the week, the central one is Melvin Jerome Blanc or Blanc as he went by later in life. Because he actually changed his name because of a comment one of his teachers gave. I know that neither Betsy or I would give a comment like that to a student or at least. So he was born 30th May, 1908 in San Francisco, California. Son of Frederick Harvey Blanc and Eva Katz, father of Noel Blanc. He died July 10th, 1989 at the age of 81 in Los Angeles. Voice actor, radio personality, best known of course for his work with Warner Brothers is the rascally wabbit, Bugs Bunny. He also did the voices for Daffy Duck, Porcupig, Tweety Bird. I didn't know about Tweety Bird. And he's often referred to as the man of a thousand voices. He was born Melvin Jerome Blanc. But the teacher influenced his name by remarking how he'd never amount to much with the last name like Blanc. So he changed it to Blanc, a French sounding name, which means white, which is interesting. And anyways, at the age of 19, this is interesting. And Betsy will appreciate this. He became the youngest orchestra conductor in the country. Wow, what orchestra? When he was working in vaudeville shows, it doesn't say which orchestra. He was acting on the KGW show, The Hoot Owls. Never heard of that. So he was soon back in Los Angeles. So I don't know if that means the orchestra wasn't essentially moved afterwards, but. And then as he joined Warner Brothers in the golden age of radio, radio was king, married Estelle Rosenbaum, and they remained married until his death. He passed away from complications because of his pack-a-day smoking habit. And thus, emphysema and coronary heart disease. Now, if he's a voice actor, like this is your instrument. You'd think that smoking once, a pack-a-day is probably not a good thing unless that gives your vocal cords that timbre or that unusual quality or something. I don't know, but. Anyway, interesting. The next bunny, rabbit, is Bunny Brook, who was known as, she was an Australian actress, creator, producer, director, design, playwright, and casting agent, best known as Flo Patterson in the long-running Australian soap opera, number 96. So the profiles of the week go back and forth, seeing things that have to do with rabbits or people called rabbit or bunny in this case. I think we have these two bunnies. People named Bunny or nicknamed Bunny. She was raised by her aunt and uncle after her parents divorced, married Leonard Norman Brooks in Victoria, Australia and had two children. She became a Mime artist and it started under Marcel Marceau. Oh, wow. And I will Mime the rest of the profiles. I want to see that. Yeah, that would be funny. Yeah, I don't know any ASL. So there's no, you know, it would be, it wouldn't be very good. It'd be just as informative as our final live cast from Roots Tech. She also starred as Nell in Round the Twist, which is an Australian children's show. And this is interesting. I hadn't seen this before, but the person who created the profile added their own little personal memory. It's the last paragraph there, but they didn't sign their name. So, oh, wait a second, that's not the name. Is that Sharon, Sharon Boethel and Nankervis is the profile writer, maybe? Makes sense. Anyways, but that was interesting. Passed away in the 2000, second of April. Then Hendrikus Magdennalus Brunna or Dick Brunna, the Dutch author, illustrator and graphic designer widely claimed for his work as the creator of the popular children's book series, Miffy. Now, I haven't heard of Miffy. Have you guys heard of Miffy? Miffy is a rabbit. There's him with a stuffed version of Miffy. He was born on August 23rd, 1927 in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. Initially started to pursue a career in drawing before his father forced him to attend a secondary school. So I guess his drawing was early on. They said, you go to high school. He eventually attended the art school in Utrecht, where he studied design and illustration. He worked for a publishing company that was founded by his grandfather. So that's kind of cool. And then he created this, there we go, pointing in the right direction. Rabbit Miffy, which is sort of minimalist design and sold over 85 million copies worldwide. You know, my dad wanted to be a cartoonist. And he got a free ride to go to Clemson because of his grades. And so he started, they didn't just have art. So he studied architecture instead. Isn't that funny? Because that was next alphabetically. I guess. You could study art during architecture. Right, well, there is a lot of connections there. Didn't have a funny study. That is neat. Lots of awards for Dick. Golden Brush Award, the Silver Pencil Award. That's kind of cool. Nighthood from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Nice legacy. Thornton Waldo Burgess from 1874 to 1965. Nickname, the bedtime story man. You are 21 from him. Yeah, he's my cousin, five times removed. Apparently. Thornton Burgess was children's author and conservationist. He wrote lots of stuff, 170 books, 170, wow. 15,000 stories for his daily newspaper column, bedtime stories, hence the nickname. And his books included Peter Cottontail and Peter Rabbit. The Adventures of Peter Cottontail. So hence the rabbit connection. Son of Caroline, Frances Hayward, and Thornton Waldo Burgess Jr., I should say. His wife died giving birth to their only son, Thornton. Then he married a widow who had two children of her own from her previous marriage. He liked to be outside and he set his plot for stories outside. Some of the characters, Old Mother Westwind, Peter Cottontail, Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Bobby Raccoon, Little Joe Otter, Grandfather Frog, Billy Mink, Jerry Musgrat, Spotty the Turtle, Old Mother Wind and Her Merry Little Breezes. His books were published in lots of different languages. Passed away on the 5th of June, 1965. And then we have Charles Litvigy Dodgson, who is again as a cousin. Boom. And let's see. He's a renowned author, better known, but he's better known by his character is named Louis Carroll. He's the oldest son and third of 11 children born to Reverend Charles Dodgson, who is the perpetual curate of Darsbury Chesser. The perpetual curate, I guess? I mean, you're never allowed to retire. You're just perpetually the curate of that church. Interesting. At age 12, he was sent to Richmond School, where he thrived and did well in math. And at age 14, went to rugby school institution. He said that any earthly considerations with no earthly consideration would induce me to go through my three years again. So I guess it was not a good experience. No. He got a BA, first-class honors in mathematics, and then he was named sub-librarian of Christchurch Library. Got an MA degree. So this guy could actually fit in next week's profiles. Next week's profiles are all about mathematicians because we celebrate Pi Day next weekend. We'll talk a little more about that later. But so this guy could bridge the gap there. But of course, he liked to tell stories to his three young daughters, or the daughters, not his daughters, because he was almost a priest. But he never did take the holy orders, but he became a deacon. He came close, but he never quite wanted to make that leap. But he did have a friend, Henry Liddell, who was the dean of the college, who did have the three young daughters, one of them being Alice. And so he told these stories to Alice. And so Alice in Wonderland, through the looking glass and all that sort of stuff. Apparently he was even read, he was even a favorite of Queen Victoria's. The people in our chat, who are wonderful collaborators, have given you, Day Mellon I, perpetual curate, appointed to the church, but got paid money for expenses rather than a proper salary. Really? So that sounds like a way to get hooked up to do work, but got paid as little as possible for it. There you go. That doesn't sound like a church. Yes, it does. Okay, next one. David Alexander Colville, Canadian connection. Ooh. Born on the 24th of August, 1920 in Toronto, Ontario. Son of David Harrow Colville and Florence Colville. Just looking at the time. And father of Graham and John, passed away just 10 years ago, July 16th, 2013, at the age of 92 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He's a painter, war artist and designer of images on the Canadian 1867 and 1967 Memorial Cain Set. So Canada was 100 years old in 1967 and there was a huge centenary and centennial celebration. And one of the parts of that was they had commemorative stamps. They had commemorative coins. They commemorated- We got our flag. There was a flag? Yeah. There was even a commemorative song by Bobby Jimby. Now, do either of you two, now Betsy probably doesn't know Bobby Jimby and Mags, you weren't in Canada yet. So there was a song that he actually wrote called, you know, can one little, two little, three, can eight years. We love you. Anyways, we learned it in school. Now, I wasn't in school in 1967. I was still pre-school, very pre-school. But we still learned it when I got to school. It was a, it gave and gave and gave, that's not, anyways. But what Alex did was he designed the coin set, the commemorative coin set. And on the coin set, there was a rabbit on the nickel. Oh, it's way down that connection. There's the connection. He designed the rabbit on the five cent coin. So, you know, we may have stretched, you know, the connection, but you know, it's a connection. It's a valid connection. And I think the only Canadian one in this one. There's one of the posters he designed for the war, but they don't show the nickel. Why don't they show the rabbit? Oh, well, if someone has that commemorative set at home, upload the image of the rabbit to this profile, please, I implore you. But we move on. Another bunny, Bunny de Barge, also known as Jordan Knight. His daughter, Robert and Louie de Barge and Etterlene de Barge. She was American soul singer, songwriter and the lone female sibling of the Motown Family Group de Barge. She's the eldest of 10 children. And she and her brothers grew up singing gospel music in the Bethel Pentecostal Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan where an uncle was the pastor and another uncle was head of the choir. So, she married Anthony Tony Jordan in Jefferson County, Ohio. When she was 20, they later divorced after having two kids. They initially sang together in the gospel circuit, God's Children of Harmony before the brothers joined with the group and signed contracts to the Choir with Motown. Top black top chart with a single time will reveal, I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with that one, is on the top 20 in the pop charts. And after several successful albums, her brother decided to go solo. Bunny released a solo album and the siblings followed individual pursuits. Here we go. Another bunny. Then we have Ruth Sawyer-Durronde, daughter of France Milton Sawyer and Ethelinda Jane Sawyer. Storyteller and writer of fiction and nonfiction for children and adults, 1937 Newbury Medal Awardee and the 1965 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award recipient for Lifetime Achievement in Children's Literature. She was an author, she was called a storyteller with consummate gifts whose tales both oral and written should be characterized as living folk art. That's a pretty good praise. Books included The Primrose Ring, she had a silent film, The Starred May Murray and The Way to Christmas. She published a book and one of her first juvenile fiction books was and here's the connection, The Tale of the Enchanted Bunnies. There we go. Three, okay. Junius Conyers Matthews. He is my closest. Is he? At 17. Wow, 21. So who's Betsy's closest? We haven't even told us about one yet. Durronde, Ruth Durronde. The one we just did. I had a tie, I had a tie. Also Thornton Burgess. Yep, yep. There we go. Sorry Betsy. So Junius Matthews was American actor, radio performer, original voice of rabbit in Disney's Winnie the Pooh. So that's neat. He also voiced Scotty in 100 and I don't know that one but he, oh, in the 101 Dalmatians. I'm not sure which one's Scotty but he was the owl, Archimedes in the Sword and the Stone Disney movie. He was born in 1899 in Carthage, Illinois. Got to start on Broadway and actually looks like he did lots of words. He, one of the earliest radio roles was as a Tin Woodsman in a production of The Wizard of Oz. And he also was on a CBC radio show and a number of others. He was in the army for a bit. So he had a bit of a break in his career and then he appeared in a few movies as well. Suffered a stroke which in 77 and then passed away in 78 of natural causes. Beatrix Potter is our second last one. Helen Beatrix Helis, formerly Potter. Daughter of Robert William Potter and Helen Beatrix Leach, author, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist, best known for imagine of children books, children's books featuring animals such as those of the tail of Peter Rabbit which celebrated the British landscape in the country life. She was the daughter and firstborn child of her parents, Robert and Helen. During her childhood, she really saw her brother who attended boarding school and had very little contact with children of her own age. So hence she was drawn into her own world and began drawing animals. Here comes Peter Cottontail hopping around the bunny trail. So now Peter Cottontail, I think, is the one who was created by Burgess, the previous co-tile profile. But this one, Peter Rabbit is the one that she's done. She's got Flopsy Mopsy Cottontail and Peter. Oh, there's a Cottontail there too. So, you know, who was the song written for? I didn't have to ask my grandmother because she's the one who sang it. Yeah, now we bought all these- Unfortunately, I don't have a seance planned. Yeah, no seance, no seance, yeah. We had, we bought all these books for our kids when they were young. I gotta tell you, some of them don't stand up to the test of time. There's some of the writing, some of the descriptions of people and things are a little dated. And yet there's still, you know, there's still some good stuff there too. So, you know, and the illustrations are amazing. So Burgess renamed Peter Cottontail as Peter Rabbit according to the bio. Ooh. Ooh. So I guess Beatrix Potter has Peter Cottontail. There we go. She had a very interesting life. The profile here talks a bit about it, but there's been movies made about her life and stuff. So pretty neat. Anyway, probably one of the most famous bunnies and rabbits. And last one, Jimmy Stewart, James Maitland Stewart. And we have had his profile before. I know we have had him. We've talked about him. Great man, family man, and the pro, this is a really well done profile. It's got lots of pictures, snippets. And it talks all about different aspects of his life. He's, you know, what a great family man he was. He was an actor and a soldier, which I remember the first time we did this, I didn't realize. I only knew about him as an actor and stuff, but he also did quite a bit during the war. I don't remember the part about a dogman bow in his thing before, but of course, the connection is one of his films was about Harvey the rabbit, right? And, but the rabbit, we never actually saw the rabbit, did we? Yeah, we did. We did. We did. At the very end, I think we saw the rabbit, the very end of the movie. Oh, okay. Unless I just conjured him out of my psyche. I don't think I've actually seen that movie. I mean, I've heard about it, about this invisible rabbit that he talks to or whatever. But anyways, great man, great profile. Harvey the rabbit is the connection. And with that, You're 23 from him, Betsy. Very cool. I think I need to bid you adieu and get it on my way. And anyways, I will catch up on them. Have a good Saturday. Yeah, I'll have a good Saturday. Yes, you too as well. Chow everyone in the chat and I'll talk to you later. All right, thanks, Greg. Bye. Bye. And then there were two. What is a puka? Somebody look up puka. What is a puka? Wasn't Harvey a puka, the big rabbit. All right, everybody's saying bye to Greg. Betsy. All right, so we actually, we should have led with this that today, March 11th is genealogy day. And in, yes, in honor of that, we had a thread in G2G that Sandy Paddock put up asking for show and tell submissions of things that have been passed down from your ancestors that are meaningful. And we have some amazing photos from this thread. So I am going to take us there. Oh, I already took us there. Great. But I'm going to make it a little bigger for that might be too big. Okay. So we have, I think these are from Janine Isleman. Yes, these are things, let's see, a coffee grinder that belongs to- We have one of those. A great grandmother. Very cool. Where did the coffee go? In the little drawer or? Yeah, you put it in the top and it goes down and comes out in the little drawer. Some knives that her father made, really gorgeous. I wonder if these are, is Janine in the chat? I thought I saw- Yeah, I thought you were. Yeah. Yeah, these look like ivory. And then a cabin that her father and younger brother made and she, it looks like, it looks like I wish there was something to scale it with. There was also furniture made to go in it, kitchen table chairs, beds, cabinets, et cetera. So it's easier. Yeah. If you tell us more, Maxwell will put it up. Now, next we have, who's this from? Margaret Meredith, a bedspread that Lucinda James crocheted for her parents as a wedding gift, 1950. Oh, okay. It was crocheted by her aunt and it was used throughout the years at bridal luncheons, birthdays, other celebrations and she has it now and hopes to give, pass it on to her children as a wedding gift. It's really beautiful. Now, these are from Sandy. This is a doorknob to the side kitchen door of her grandparents' house in West Virginia. And she said that right as the house was about to be torn down, she secured the doorknob about six months before. She secured it. You know, Sandy, those old houses, one of the things that those kids love to play with were marbles. And if you look around the doors where people went up the steps into the houses, if you look around and dig just a little bit, you will find marbles. Because people were reaching in their pockets to open the door and they would drop their marbles. Unlike me, you lost your marbles. Look, he says that those knives are wooden. Oh, really? Yeah, he had a wood shop, so he made wooden knives. Really beautiful craftsmanship. And then this is Sandy's wedding dress from 1958. Oh, wow. Yes. The family's... Mother's wedding dress. Sandy's mother's wedding dress. Yeah. Yeah. And there's comments back and forth about how to preserve the dress. She doesn't dare fold it up because, you know, but it's just, oh, I love the lacework. Yeah, the lacework's gorgeous. Yeah. How beautiful. Okay, then we have a quilt. What would genealogy show and tell debut without a quilt? Really? Guessing that this was made in the 1890s, judging by the fabrics in the patches. And I thought this was, this is really interesting. So, wait, who posted this? Oh my gosh, that's blood. That's blood. She worked hard on this quilt, often pricking her fingers, but kept working. Let's see. It was made by Shelly's third great-grandmother, Lucinda Burkley. DNA. DNA. Yes. Yeah. DNA. Someone told Shelly. Yes. But look at this. This is so cool. There's this chain of custody of everybody who has owned the quilt. Isn't that amazing? Genealogy, I wish I could blow it up. Maybe if I went to her profile, maybe I could, but that's just really special to have that. Okay. Then Donald Spanner posted this photo of, his great-grandfather, Henry Venn, was a military outfitter. And Clothier. So, this is one of the hats he made. I see a nine- Is that a bugler's hat? Because of you? Yeah. Yeah. And I see a 90. Yeah. I don't know anything more than that. 1856 to 1913. That's gorgeous. Yes. Yeah. And amazing that it's still so shiny, the gold details. Yeah. Okay. This is a full double-sized bedspread. It is not an anti-McCassar, which I want everybody to know. I looked up on practice pronouncing, because I wasn't really familiar with that word. Anti-McCassars are the fabric that would go over the back of our arms of a armchair. So, I'm glad that anonymous Hamilton clarified that, because it does, it does, you can't really tell from the scale on the photo how big it is. But notice that there are names and dates along. Nice. Yes. So, let's see. And Mary Ann Doyle crocheted it, and her name is across the top. And she married R. Kerr, and his name is crocheted going up the left side. And then on the right side going up is crocheted the year 1867, which might be the year they met or became betrothed. And the finding of Moses is crocheted on the bottom and describes the picture. You know, Jelaine Smith just asked, how do you create a sort of citation for that? We actually did a live cast with Roberta Estes, who if you don't know besides genealogy, she is a quilter extraordinaire, and she came on, shared some of the quilts that she had made and showed us how you can do the quilt square with the information about who quilted it, who the quilt was for, the date and all of that stuff. And we actually talked about how to source quilts for genealogical records. So do look for Roberta Estes in one of the live casts and you'll find that answer there, Jelaine. Yeah. Wow, that's fascinating. Okay, now this is from Keith Cook and his great-grandfather, Karl Gustav Herbert Lauren, was a stone cutter who came with his wife to the United States from Sweden in 1881. And he carved this marble frame for his youngest son, Sven, who later became ordained into the ministry of the United Methodist Church in 1937. Nice. Yeah. Here we have Bill Baker's grandfather's pipe match case and tobacco tin. I wish I could see, there looks like there's some really beautiful engraving on the tobacco tin. Actually, the pipe is gorgeous too. Yeah. And everybody in the comments, people were wondering if these were the original matches, but they are not. They, Bill put them in there to show the purpose of what it was. Nice. Yeah. This is from Sally Kimball, a little glass knick-knack, a souvenir of Leonidas, Michigan, and from her father's side of the family. And so there was conversation here about how does a little town like this end up with souvenirs? And she writes, perhaps an enterprising shopkeeper thought it a good joke to, since even today, this is a tiny town. Last time I was there, it had one flashing traffic light. Not exactly a vacation spot, but. Yeah. And someone comments that shop owners could order souvenirs to sell that had their town or whatever. Dinner forks that belong to, oh, Kay Knight's great-grandmother. And you can see that her name was engraved on the back. That's nice. Yeah. Yeah, they really are. Oh, now this is pretty cool. A one-sixth dollar, Bill, who was, this was from David Wilcox, and it was payment to his four times great-grandfather for his service in the Battle of White Plains, New York, 1776. Wow. Wow. Yeah. I can't believe that's not under glass. I can't, some of the money for Moses Fitch for his service during the revolution, he was wounded at the Battle of White Plains, New York, October 28th, 1776. Yeah. So, and yeah, I didn't know there was such a thing as a one-sixth dollar, Bill. This cameo has been in Mary and Surudi's family since 1852, six generations. Wow. Yeah. Margaret's still well, received it from her husband as a wedding present. They were married in 1852 and she has photos of each generation of women wearing the pin. Oh, wow. All posted on Wiki Tree. Wow. Yeah. And what came out in the comments is that they thought that her mother had skipped, that it had skipped her generation, but then they found this photo. Is that because your mother jumped in a boat with her fiance and went to Miami for, to what do you call that when you go? Elope. Elope. They eloped. Your mother is beautiful. Yeah, that's bigger than I thought it would be too. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The cane collection. So this was from David Draper and he said that it was his grandfather's collection. Well, that's what he was told, but it was not. He discovered by researching that this collection of canes was his great grandfather's collection. It's actually twice as big as what you see in this picture. And is that a milk jug that it's in? A ceramic milk jug. You know? That would be a collectible too. Yeah. I had, I read everything. I don't think any mention was made of the container. So I don't know. That's a question for David. So he said, as pioneers migrated westward, they stopped to refresh supplies in the southeast corner of Nebraska, Dawson, Nebraska. Today, they traded what they had for supplies and his great grandfather accepted canes for payment. These canes came from all over Europe. Each had a story. Wow. His great grandfather knew the story behind each cane. And of course, regretfully, nobody ever wrote those down. David says that when I was a boy, I used them as ball bats to hit rocks out into the field. Ooh, I destroyed some really valuable canes hand carved with intricate details. The rest are scattered about in all the families and they don't realize the historical significance. Free space page. Free space page. Yes. This collection is at now at the home of his nephew who has no idea about the story behind the canes. Now he does. That's real life. Yeah, Donna Gerber agrees that that looks like a crock that they're in. That looks like something collectible as well to me. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Let's see. My little Georgie Nealfield. No, I'm sorry, Nancy Wilson. This is my grandmother's table from her living room. Every Christmas, she would put a small silver Christmas tree on this table. She died in 1969. Decades later, this was among her possessions that were auctioned off to pay for another family member's medical bills. This was the only thing I remembered that I wanted from that auction and it now sits in her reading room. Nice. Beautiful. Okay, this is Sue Carter. These were the wedding rings of my second great-grandmother. When I took this photo, I just realized that the jewelry box they were saved in is actually a prescription medication container. Interesting. And the prescription's actually written on the container. So collectibles, not just the items themselves, but this item containers. Yes. Charles A. McKean-Drogast in Woodstock NB. Can you make that out, Meg? I can't. Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay, this one's for me. This is a ceremonial baton presented to Ruth Jawett's grandfather in 1955 from the Kingston upon the Hall Opera Society. And the baton is inscribed. It's too big to be used to conduct and I don't yet know what the occasion was when it was presented. Now these, Mike Paddock says his great-grandfather, Lorenz Paddock, emigrated from Austria in 1911, was a barber and he brought his tools with him so that he could work and save money to bring his wife and daughter along. After his family arrived and grew, he started the Lorenz Paddock barber, barber, beverages, billiards and confectionery. Easy for you to say. In this small town of Stacey, Minnesota, I haircut a beer and pool all in one place, wish they had places like that now. He also upgraded his equipment to electric. Wow. I love that. Yeah. Let's see. Oh, let's see, this is, who's this from? I don't know if you've noticed, but people in the chat have noticed that somebody is out on the street blowing their horn and the story we have here is from John Tyner that somebody who is listening is tooting their approval. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I always forget. No, no, don't be. It's fun. It's horn tooting. Yay, Betsy, go. You know, you don't even need to do the sound effects during. No, Betsy, go, go. Yeah, life in the big city. I just taught to tune it out at this point. I think this is the last one. This is John Ginz Beans Shaving Mug, actually soap dish, I would say. It says he was born March 24th, 1791 and died 1883. That's a good long life. He inherited it as a teenager when his great-uncle died. The outside had masking tape on it with my great-uncle's name, so people assumed it was his. I think I was the first to open it in decades and discovered the writing inside. Wow. It always pays to be curious. Yeah. I asked my mom and then my grandmother who John Bean was, they had no clue. And the idea that I had found something from an unknown ancestor is what really sparked my interest in genealogy. That is really cool. Those are great pictures of the week. Thank you, Sandy, and thank you, Betsy. I have a coverlet that belonged to one of my great-great-grandmothers in Dillard, Georgia. I don't know which one. But it was dyed with blueberry or blueberry, of course, but berry juice, a certain color. So it's actually hanging in a handmade frame that is like grape leaves or leaves from the blueberry bush. So the frame we're talking about, the container is just as collectible. So I will take a picture of that. If I can do that, it's behind glass. There's also a note on the back that says a portion of this coverlet is also in a museum in Dillard. So I'll take a picture of both of those and I'll post that later if I can figure out how to post a picture in G2G. I seem to be challenged at doing that. We'll figure it out. I would love to see that. Yeah, I will do that. Thank you, Sandy Paddock. That's great. Did you have anything else? Did you have any tips you wanted to add? I have a quick tip. I'll do a two-minute tip. You can take three minutes. Okay, thank you. And I'll just say to everybody, as we finish up that segment, happy genealogy day. Okay, let me go back. So today's tip had to do with, whoops, share this tab instead, your navigation page. And I'm curious maybe people could say in the chat whether they use this feature or not. Oh, my heart hurts. Why? I see your mama. Yeah. Oh, mama. That was her engagement photo. That's sweet. Yeah, thanks. So this is a really useful feature on WikiTree. So the way you get to it is under the My WikiTree menu. And you'll see it's actually bolded nav homepage. And I pretty much souped my nav homepage up. So you can see that I've got my family tree, the most immediate generations, things that are happening in the G2G discussion feed that have to do with tags I'm following. So if I can wanna quick update and I wanna make sure I didn't miss anything, that's where I go, shows my badges. I love my badges and family activity feed. These also show up in the Wednesday email alerts. But if you wanna see in between the Wednesdays, you can see them here. And then this, I think this might be my favorite feature of the navigation page is the scratch pad. And I just use it to, I know some people do a free space page for their genealogy to-dos and that's another great way to do it. But I really love just, making some quick little to-dos here and you edit it that way. Now, oh, and thank yous. So that's what I have on mine. If I decided I wanted to change that down at the bottom, there is a menu, hyperlink, and it takes you right to the page. Are you seeing that? I hope you're seeing it. Absolutely, that's great. Where you can customize it. Just make it work for you. So really the only thing I don't have is the getting started introduction to wiki tree. But, and by the way, if you're new to wiki tree, I was rereading all this material last night, really great stuff, very valuable information. But one thing that I could play with is you can, you know, change the timeframes that you're seeing the G2G things, the family feed, the thank yous, et cetera. So that is my tip of the week. Yay. I love your tips of the week. Okay. They're simple, they're easy to understand. Even sometimes they handle tough and hard to understand tasks and you make them easy to understand. Thank you. That's so fun. So we're winding down our wiki tree livecast today. I wanna talk about things that are upcoming. I want to move myself up to the top there. What's happening around re... That's all folks. What's happening around wiki tree? So let's see, have we got it? Are we there? Okay, good. Yep, you're there. So we've got the Black Heritage Weekend Sprint is this weekend. So if you're working on that, you wanna get into that. March 22nd is German's Spanish. Friday night, date night is March the 24th. I thought it was this past week. So it was yesterday. Two weeks, so okay. Black Heritage Weekend Sprint, the 24th to the 26th. Friday night Bingo with the Angel, the Adoption Angels Project. Woo-hoo. We've got some bio builders projects, biography and PGM profiles coming up for challenges. Connect Titanic passengers. Connect US Black Heritage Project Notables, Getty. The integrators and the Sorcerers Challenge. We've got the 15 Nations Tour Argentino, the 15 for 15, Canada Notables Connection. Communiteers January to March. One Name Study Connecting Challenge for March. The Duggle Bee one, there you go. US Black Heritage Slave Owner Record Transcription Collaboration. That's a really important one because without having those records transcribed, people can't connect to their origins. So that's an important one. Civil War March Challenge Andersonville. Andersonville was a Civil War Confederate prisoner of war camp. That's a crazy, interesting. And the Rocker event. Do we have any updates on the Rocker event? You know, the Rockers are working away, very with great dedication and zeal. I was going to do an update next week, number update, you know, sort of at the halfway point. Okay. Yeah. Great. And social media, if you want to help share, get the word out, we'll zoom down here to today. The meet our members is, Guess who, Janine Izerman. Yay! That starts today, and Brian Nash was last week. Of course, you're here now on the Saturday roundup. We've got photos coming up that are sport and the 52 ancestors is translation. Then this week we have the question of the week. Wait, that was last week. Okay. So that's it. That's all. Okay. So if you want to help out with the social media, go over to the social media tab, the social media team, and you will do that. We love having all of you here with us. Yes. And we wish you a happy genealogy day and we're going to check out. We'll see you soon. All right. Bye, y'all. You're going. Bye. I got to get my information up here. Here we go. All right. Bye, y'all. You're going. Bye. I got to get my information up here. Here we go. Bye.
